Out of Berlin, Germany, a well-renowned multicultural hub,
has come The Kayan Project, a unique musical group performing traditional
Middle Eastern music in Arabic, Hebrew, and English.
The group consists of lead singer Eden Cami,
accompanied by Or Rozenfeld on contrabass, Wassim Mukdad on oud, and Borys
Slowikowski on drums.
Some articles about the group have noted the fact that
its members come from different nationalities and ethno-religious backgrounds. Cami and Rozenfeld are both from Israel,
Mukdad is Syrian, and Slowikowski is Polish.
But regardless of where they originally came from, it is a passion for
music that unifies them and truly defines who they are as people.
The inspiration of the group’s music originates with
Cami’s love of poetry in both Hebrew and Arabic. Their songs focus on people’s relationships
with one another. According to Cami, the
relationships they focus on are not merely “romantic ones, but also friendships
and the relationship between parents and children.”
What makes their music stand out is Cami’s
extraordinary vocal talents accompanied by the group’s exceptional melodies and
rhythm.
They have recently released an album, Dancing for No One, which can be found
on platforms, such as Spotify, You Tube, Bandcamp, and Apple Music just to name
some. They also perform concerts
regularly throughout Germany.
Here are links where you'll be able to find and enjoy their music:
